vproblem is "Find the area. Be sure to write the formula, work and answer with units" it is a triangle with the apothem as 5ft
The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * base * height.
In this case, the apothem length of the triangle is 5ft, which is equivalent to the height of the triangle.
Let's assume the base of the triangle is b ft.
So, the formula becomes:
A = 1/2 * b * 5
Let's say the base of the triangle is 10 ft.
Then, the area of the triangle would be:
A = 1/2 * 10 * 5
A = 1/2 * 50
A = 25 sq ft
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 25 square feet.
